Signs that dizziness originates in the neck:
Discomfort increases when turning the head.
It intensifies when looking upwards or maintaining the same posture for a long time.
There is stiffness or pain in the back of the neck and shoulders.
What you can do:

Avoid sleeping with too many pillows or with your head too high.
Keep your computer or cell phone screen at eye level.
Seek guidance from a physical therapist or healthcare professional if pain or stiffness is frequent.
Cause 4: Inner Ear Disorders
The Balance Center
Inside the ear are small structures called semicircular canals, which detect head movement and position. When these canals become inflamed, fill with fluid, or when small calcium crystals (otoliths) shift, the brain receives confusing signals, even when you are still.
This can cause:
A sensation of spinning (vertigo).
Intense dizziness when changing position.
Nausea, cold sweats, or unsteadiness when walking.
Benign positional vertigo (BPI) is very common in older adults and is often triggered by turning over in bed, looking up, or bending over.
How to Support Inner Ear Health
Consult a healthcare professional if the vertigo is severe or recurring; there are specific physical techniques that can help reposition these small crystals.
Promote circulation with regular physical activity and a balanced diet.
Consume foods rich in magnesium and vitamin B12, nutrients that help keep the blood vessels and nerves of the inner ear healthy (always under professional guidance, in the case of supplements).
